Top down of the new rock work during the massive water change. The caribsea life rocks are simply AMAZING!

Glad I saved the paper work that came with my Tunze strong magnetic cleaner. I never knew it came with a metal blade. That was my biggest complaint, until today a @Bulk Reef Supply video from 4 years ago popped up on youtube. 10/10 on this cleaner now!

Made a little trade today. Guy I work with gave me two 20 gallon tanks, stand, HOB’s and a ton of other items. Put it for FREE or trade for a 10 gallon. Guy I know gave me a 10 gallon, glass lid and sponge filter for it all!

The gamma snap on lids are the absolute best for ANY 5 gallon bucket. Air tight! This is where I transfer any salt I buy. Never had a moisture issue. $7 at menards or find it on amazon!

COLD water! @LiveAquaria salt dropped in, time to warm up and check salinity in the morning! Inkbird controlling the eheim heater.

Forgot to turn my Inkbird controller back on last Sunday after my water change. Luckily I did a water change today and found it was off. Tank was running 69-70 all week... dumb!

So the diamond tail isn’t doing well... I thought for sure he was gone yesterday. No signs of heavy breathing, and moves around pretty good. Just hasn’t moved much.

What are the benefits to running two DI stages? My tds coming in is 170ish. I don’t fully understand and maybe tds has nothing to do with it? I’m running the spectrapure CSPDI-90-MF with a booster pump to get me to 80psi coming into the unit.

I use a BRS 5 stage unit 75GPD, with a booster pump. I was reading up on using 2 DI stages and everything I can find suggests its a waste of time. only If the media exhausts in the first DI stage would the second stage have a use.

Is it worth giving this fish a freshwater bath? We had a midas blenny that was on a brink of death and a freshwater bath turned his health around literally overnight. Just a thought.
 
Kids felt like crap on and off since Thursday. Now I’m feeling down. Time to clean some stuff. Wife just left for the week for work. Wish me luck!

He was swimming crazy this morning, actually caught him with a cup when he was at the top of the tank. Completely missing one eye. Didn’t make it much longer.
